Yorkshire suffered at the hands of the Beast from the East and then the Pest from the West in recent weeks, so will next week be as problematic?

Met Office forecasters don't expect the same level of disruption, mainly due to the fact that it is almost April, so the sun is stronger and the ground warmer.

Laura Paterson, chief operational meteorologist, said: “The evolution of this system during the middle of next week is uncertain, but it does appear increasingly likely to herald the start of another colder spell for many parts of the UK. Despite uncertainty regarding the timing and onset of this change, the signal that colder conditions will develop and last into the Easter weekend has remained consistent.”

Northern and central parts of the UK are expected to be the worst affected by any snowfall.

Laura added: “We’re now a lot further into spring than at the beginning of March. The ground is warmer, the sun is stronger because it is higher in the sky and we have more hours of daylight at the end of March compared with the beginning of the month. All of these factors are likely to subdue the impact of any snowfall.”
